Show Conkliug Comes to the Front. New York, 2S. The Times' Ulica Epeciai criticises tho appointment made yesterday by republicans of Rnscoo t 'oakling as delegate to the state convention. The correspondent says bia object in going to the convention conven-tion ie to show to the country that the recent Bveuts in the homo of his Hbede Island connection do not compel com-pel him to keep alool from public affairs. In this relation it will not be amiss to say that the prevailing publio sentiment in this part of the elate is that until the senator has made some satisfactory explanation of that connection con-nection it will hardly do for him to assume the role of absolute dictator which he performed with such credit to himself and disaster to the party m the Rochester convention of 1S77. That lie will have the good sense to take the modest pasition which would become him under the circumstances is by the majority of well informed people here regarded as extremely doubtful. |
